The German Arms Hotel in Hahndorf SA. Hey Al great shots & memories but the pub down the road has the best meals. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=6c74f9450f4cc7d2JmltdHM9MTY2MTg1MzUyMiZpZ3VpZD1jM2Q2NTg2OS0yOTdlLTRkYTQtODNiNC01MDBkMzliZmIwMjAmaW5zaWQ9NTQ2NQ&ptn=3&hsh=3&fclid=53cbac2a-284a-11ed-8eb8-b260a358e084&u=a1aHR0cDovL3d3dy5oYWhuZG9yZmlubi5jb20uYXUv&ntb=1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are a bit spoilt for choice in Hahndorf, need a fortnight / month to suss out all the places. Shots are just random phone shots. We did not pull the good camera's out until we got up to Devil's Marbles NT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australia is a beautiful place & is is a pity that too many just jump on a plane & go to some place because they can, I am not against travel but I reckon you should just check out your own backyard first.

iBooz2 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Barrow Creek Hotel. There is a little monument inside for Peter Falconio hoping for more information on his disappearance. And a big monument outside to me - all bullshit and beer ha ha. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBooz2 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 (edited) Devils Marbles Hotel. There is a free camp right out front of this hotel and we stayed overnight there both on the way up the Stuart highway and also on the way back. If you buy a meal at the pub you can use their showers etc. We did not need to as we are self contained anyway but the meals and service were superb. Apparently people drive all the way down from Tennant Creek just to have a pub meal here and I can see why. Very impressed with their tucker. A couple of photos of signs on the outback dunny walls in their beer garden. Another sign said "Hippies are to go way around the back".

iBooz2 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Then there is the Daly Waters Hotel. The jewel in the crown for travelers up and down the Stuart highway. Tim the owner is sitting on a gold mine here and he knows it. The place is packed out and if you do not get there by 1 pm then sorry no room to camp. Plus you have to book and pay for your Beef and Barra dinner by 3 pm otherwise it's baked beans on toast around a distant campfire. Great floor show and band the night we stayed there. Plus there were a few floozies that had come down from Darwin all dressed up to the nines (or nearly dressed up read - partially clothed) to have a good time and create a bit of friendly jealousy with all the hubby's and wives that stayed until the end of the evening. Very entertaining. Yes I stayed out of trouble and stayed married....... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBooz2 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 That's Tim the Daly Waters pub owner in the mobility scooter with the buffalo horn handle bars. Runs a tight ship and not much slips past him. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stuff Al great photos for great memories, I have been all through there & enjoyed every minute of it, nothing like the Outback to provide a daily adventure. Apart form the dust, heat, snakes, flies & Crocodiles - it's a paradise !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiekraut Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 I don't have a photo of the place and can't remember its name but last year, we went on a roundtrip through Outback Queensland and as you do, you go fossicking in the gem fields. Just to find the tiny gems they had mixed into the pile of sand beforehand I suppose There was this pub in Sapphire, where they served XXXX Bitter and Gold with pride. When I spotted something semi crafty in a fridge, I picked one up and went to the checkout, where I was greeted by a nice lady with an astonished look on her face, asking her colleague, how much the "fancy beers" were 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could see by the state of the dirt /mud road that a lot of people had gotten themselves into a lot of trouble and had to abort. We got through to Coward Springs to camp at an old Ghan railway station and got to see lake Eyre south full to the brim. Next day we made it through to the William Creek hotel but the road sign there said road from Oodnadatta to Marla was closed so we rang ahead to the Pink Roadhouse to find out that it was actually open. So we pushed on and that night we camped out at what called the bent pole monument several km's north of Oodnadatta. Its like being camped on the moon out here. I’ve only just discovered this thread but what a great one it is. I worked out at William Creek for a bit a long time ago and these photos bring back some very fond memories.

I got shown around the Franklin at Cowell, and the Publican showed me the morg. It was very eerie. Those old buildings are very intriguing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Frothman Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) Another favourite is the Animal Bar in Karumba FNQ. I spent a lot of time there whilst working in the region … because there’s not much else to do otherwise. They featured it and the publican on Backroads on ABC a couple of years ago.

Spent a week fishing there many years ago. Caught shedloads of threadfin salmon. Animal bar wasn't too bad. The other one on the gulf with the sunset view wasn't bad either but I remember a tad expensive with the meals. Beautiful part of the country albeit very remote. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh yes I remember the sunset pub. We went there once, but as we were living in the motel attached to the Animal Bar pub it made sense to hang out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
